Really positive to hear about a law firm taking a lead in preventing sexual harassment and managing consensual relationships. I love the concept of the ‘Ask me Anything’ sessions.

It is long overdue and hopefully it will help HR and other responsible people ensure that the secrecy and cover-ups over sexual harassment complaints are more openly addressed, leading to long-term remedies. I have always been very cynical about the use of the word ‘consensual’, but we must acknowledge the reality that many very happy relationships, partnerships, marriages,
etcetera arise out of the workplace, so finding the balance is critical – and fundamentally its finding out how the power is shared and applied. Education is the key, not heavy handed policies like that recently applied in the political world.

We will be endeavouring to take this clever initiative forward to our own client base. Lets see what the take up is!
